Complete list of bondholders inside, and BBC footage of Sir Eveylyn de Rothschild. The deceased Guy de Rothschild, pictured, no longer exploits the masses for banking profit, but his progeny carry on his legacy effectively.

Anglo-Irish Bank did not represent a systemic risk to the Irish economy, it wasn’t a high street bank like AIB or the Bank of Ireland. If it had been allowed to go the way of Lehmans the only losers would have been shareholders and bondholders. The Irish state stepped in and nationalised a bank that was basically run by crooks lending to property speculators.

The Irish people are taking losses that should rightly have been shouldered by bondholders.

Every child in Ireland is being bequeathed a huge debt at birth to protect the interests of foreign, mainly German, bondholders – why? Guido was once a bond trader, it was always understood that sometimes the bond issuer defaults.

That is the risk investors take.

So why is Dublin’s political establishment so keen to protect foreign investors at the expense of future generations? Guido has obtained the list of foreign Anglo-Irish bondholders as at the close of business tonight. These are the people whom Dublin’s politicians really seem to care about:

Of the 80 listed companies only 7 listed pensions and being a cooperative savings institution. Of those only 4 listed churches and unions as their clients, the others could well have been big pension funds. The churches and unions in question were in Germany not Ireland. Those seven companies are amongst the smallest of Anglo Irish's bond holders. I only have figures for four of the seven. The largest, Union Investments of Germany, has a mere €165 billion in assets under management.

The total assets under management which I was able to compile from publicly available figures is €20,871,150,000,000. That is an underestimate because the bond holders who turn out to be Private and Swiss banks don't publish any figures. So Anglo Irish's 'bond holders' hold and invest MORE than 20.8 trillion euros. Guido lists those bond holders as holding between them 4 Billion euros in Anglo Irish bonds.

Now, in my opinion both figures are likely to be wrong. Certainly my figure is a large underestimate. But taking them at face value Anglo Irish would account for one 5000th of the total assets being managed by all the bond holders. So would even a total default by Anglo Irish cause that much, let alone systemic, pain and risk? Why are the 'Bond holders' and the Irish government so concerned that the Irish people be forced to take the loss and pay the debts for them?

Now lets look at the other side of the equation, at Ireland itself. Well Ireland's GDP before the crash, in 2008, was ... drum roll please... €207 billion. Or 0.207 trillion.

SO.... on one side we have Ireland whose bond holders, its people, have between them a total GDP wealth of 0.207 trillion euros. Who are being FORCED, against their will, to pay Anglo Irish bank's debts to its bond holders, who between them hold 20.8 Trillion euros. The people of Ireland are paying to, and protecting the wealth and power of, people who have 100 times more wealth!

So where do these wealthy bond holders live and work?

Germany has the most with 15 of the bond holders. Who between them hold 5.3 trillion euros.France is next with 10 bond holders. Who have about 4 trillion to keep them warm.Britain is third with 9 who have around 3 trillion.The Swiss have 6 but who have about 8.5 trillion.America has only three and hold only a trillion.

All these figures are very rough. The figure for Switzerland is certainly under because Private Swiss banks just don't publish figures. What we can say for sure, figures or no figures, is these are not banks investing widow's pensions or orphan's pennies.So who are they? Well many of the bond holders are privately held banks, which list their activities as asset management for off-shore, non-resident and high value individuals. To give you an example, one of the private banks is EFG Bank of Luxembourg. EFG stands for European Financial Group which is the third largest private bank group in Switzerland. It manages over €7.5 trillion in assets. It is 'mostly', 40%, owned by Mr Spiro Latsis, son of a Greek shipping magnate. He also owns 30% of Hellenic Petroleum. His personal fortune is estimated to be about $9 Billion.

DB here. Blasphemous rape of a nation in order to reward billionaire bondholders who were reckless investors and malignant in oversight.

CNBC Video - E.D. Rothschild with Maria Bartiromo

Our earlier story on the IMF bailout for billionaire bondholders uncovered that the Rothschild Group is one of the Anglo-Irish bank creditors getting paid 100 cents on the dollar by U.S. taxpayers (thru the IMF) for their failed investments. So let's hear some bank-loving nonsense from E.D. Rothschild himself. Notice the date on both clips. This one came after Congress passed TARP, and Rothschild seems quite relieved that bank bondholders were not asked to take any losses.

"Let's get back to capitalism for the good of all..."

At 1:35 - "You have to face up to the fact that you couldn't let these people (banks) collapse..."

Really? Why is that E.D.? Of course we could have and should have let them collapse. Every single one of them. Then prosecute for fraud. Then jail time. Bust some bank-bondholder ass. Then we should have used the $700 billion allocated for TARP to create 7 new banks with $100 billion in capital each. I wasn't alone in making this suggestion. Nobel winner Joseph Stiglitz said the same thing as did others.

'Capitalism for the good of all' my ass, E.D. It was crony communism for the good of you, your family, and the global banking elite. Go sell your lies somewhere else, because the righteous economic blogoshpere is not buying this steaming pile of shite.

David Malone is more well-known for making science documentaries for British television. At the beginning of the financial crisis in 2008, incensed by events, he began posting comments on the financial pages of the Guardian newspaper’s website. He then began his own blog. The Debt Generation is the culmination of over two years writing fuelled by anger and frustration at the way our futures were being sold to save the banks. Read more about David.

Spiro Latsis and family 60 years old was born in Greece. Now Spiro Latsis and family is live in Switzerland

Spiro Latsis and family has amassed an enormous fortune from inherited. With an estimated current net worth of around $11.0 billion, he is ranked by Forbes (2007) as the 56th-richest person in world.

The family's largest holding is its EFG Bank Group, a large banking conglomerate with private banking operations in Monaco, the United Kingdom and Switzerland. The group's subsidiaries include the publicly traded EFG Eurobank Ergasias. Merged with the Sandoz family's Banque Edouard Constant last year, becoming the majority shareholder. Sold its oil refining concern for a stake in Hellenic Petroleum, a large European oil refining and distribution outfit.

I estimate that almost 30% of bondholders are German or based in Germany!You get a real, warm, fuzzy feeling to see how much the Germans care about Ireland. Perhaps we may see them spending their holidays here to help even more. The Irish have been well and truly stuffed.

The people have only themselves to blame. If they allow their govt to abuse them, whose fault is that? Let them stand up and fight: walk from personal credit card debt held by the banks, boycott taxes, withdraw all money from their banks etc.

Thanks for the real low down on trillions v the euroless.This article exposes the whole rotting carcass in less than than a minute.Thankyou - the numbers are numbingly clear - just never exposed before.

This world will suffer these parasites no more.If you have cash... Crash J.P. Morgan - Buy Silver!

"We are the intruders. We are disturbers. We are subverters. We have taken your natural world, your ideals, your destiny, and played havoc with them. We have been at the bottom of not merely the latest Great War but of nearly all your wars, not only of the Russian but of nearly every other major revolution in your history. We have brought discord and confusion and frustration into your personal and public life. We are still doing it. No one can tell how long we shall go on doing it."- Marcus Eli Ravage, the authorized Jewish biographer for the Rothschild dynasty wrote this in an article in The Century Magazine, January 1928, volume 115, no. 3 pp 346-350

"Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation and I care not who makes the laws."- Mayer Amschel Rothschild, founder of the Rothschild international banking dynasty, 1790

"Do something about it", first we have to know what's hitting us before we could do anything effective about it. Just because you know about it doesn't mean your neighbor has the same understanding about it too.Accepting tyranny, slavery, hard labor for a little pay, respecting tyrants, feeling inferior,... in some people's gene. even if their children are working for google and have nice cars, they're still the same slaves except they're not carrying the cargo on their heads but through their laptops. you shouldn't rely on this type of people to even argue with the tyrants.It's been said that if you put money on the chest of a dead Indian, they'll get up and do cartwheels for you. so if somebody is printing money, chances are these well-dressed modern slaves will cooperate with the money-printer.They made a wrong bid earlier, now the market is moving against their positions, they're unwilling and hesitant to stop losses and liquidate because they can't believe their eyes. They look so uncomfortable as if they have a bone in their butts.

may i say firstly, my prayers, and many of them, are for the people of ireland. when all is said and done, there isn'nt much we, as ordinary working people, can do to put things right. this scam has been planned for hundreds of years and taking control of the media was a master stroke by the elite. we can name names and use what arguments we have about democracy, but i feel it is too late. the power now has swong in favour of the crown and those who follow them. there will soon be a one world government, currency and economical system, those who are against it will be judged severely. there are two prominent families behind this plan, the crown and the rothschilds, and they use the masonic order to control all things under them, by the order of law. while the world was enjoying themselves when the harvest was good, some one raped our laws. there are none so blind as those who cannot see. there is only one solution to these problems, that is, jesus.

The golem blog is very educational. I hope the common people of the world share resources in figuring out how to overthrow this tyranny that so many have awakened to. Ireland and Iceland have strategies to share with us and us with them.

One story he touches on in the bondholders is the tie-in with the Madoff global money laundering operation. Picard has already clawed back $4B more than claims, with Picower today agreeing to pay back over $7 billion. Yet the Vienna connection alone is thought to have received almost $20 billion. The numbers for the Madoff scam indicate something more than a ponzi scheme was going on.

I would point out that Picower was a healthcare philanthropist, and one year got over $1b in profits from sale of a company to Cardinal Health, a company that has bought out a company like that every year. (Last year's billion dollar transfer went to a sheik.) I wonder what actual value we are getting - since we all pay for these transfers in increased healthcare costs. The NYT said that that particular transaction was completely on the up and up, which would be - well, out of character with the rest of Picowers pre-philanthropist history. But I have no ability to prove my suspicions, and can only hope that someone with more knowledge of forensic accounting would look at this more closely.

Some commenters here are making the mistake of pointing accusing fingers at the Germans. Isn't it about time we all stopped demonizing these long-suffering and cultured people?

You should be pointing at Frankfurt and Berlin ... two cities that have long been under the domination of 'Jews' (the Yiddish speaking peoples who emerged long ago from the Pontic Steppe).

In 1945, with the Germans defeated and defenseless, 'Jews' (Yids) poured back into Germany to requisition / steal property and assets. Some passing through on the way to pre-1948 Israel, while others stayed.

Remember that technically, Germany remains occupied territory, and will remain so until both Britain and America close their military bases, or are kicked out.

These are America's military bases (TASCOMEUR Command) in Germany:

US Army Bases in Germany:Armstrong Army Heliport, Buedingen, Hessen;Coleman Army Airfield, Mannheim;Conn Barracks;Hanau Army Airfield, Hessen;Stuttgart Army Airfield, Baden-Wuerttemberg;Leighton Barracks, US Army;Messel Small Arms Range, Darmstadt, US Army;Pioneer Kaserne, Hanau, US Army.

The US Air Force Bases in Germany are:Bitburg Air Base, Bitburg;Hahn Air Base;Ramstein Air Base;Rhein- Main AiR Base, Frankfurt/Main.

So, I would politely suggest those of you accusing the Germans of doing "this and that" to the people of Eire (and/or elsewhere) really need to do more research and analysis. The German people need our help too!

ANGLOSAXON post is quite right. if irish people would read "The protocols of the elders of Zion" woulf find the root cause of their economic nightmare, As well as that of europe.- iIt is quite reaveling the fact of previous FED lending to the EU newborne currency, the idea behind is of weakening the EURO beforehand and making it subservient to the the dollar, plus the ellimnation of national european currencies along the states political independence.- Just to achieve such a goal the very obedient masons being present on the banking/media property bipartisan party system has been instrumental and culprit.- An answer: Once the political party has betrayed you, you have to start all over again, from local assembly and mouth to ear communication among the people, the pub, the church and the school, use the bill of rights, and petition to the aauthority with miillion order signatures, establish common and simple economic and poliitical targets within a shortlist and fight.,and keep on a permanent state of assembly, never becoming a party, otherwiise you are going to be REDUCED TO STARVATION AND ELIMINATED UNDER THE POPULATION REDUCTION PROGRAM IN COURSE.- Finally, turn off the inocullating TV.-

Just as soon as I get the neighbor on one side understanding what the problem is with the world economy I am faced with the neighbor on the other side that is totally clueless. By the time I get that one to understand I look back at the other neighbor and see that they have gone back to the old ways because it is easier to flow down stream with the rest of the dead fish then to struggle against the current. There is nothing that can be done to correct the problem. I say that because the couple of dozen of us that do understand are out numbered by those who don't care, don't want to care, and most likely don't speak my language. To get those of us affected by this banking scheme into one place is next to impossible with there being 1000 groups, each with their own ideals on how to change the system, but none of them in total agreement. Even if that were possible, those that are manipulating these money systems are better connected and also they have those who will go out and do as they are told. That would be to kill, steal and destroy all those who oppose the current system. It is not that these people are clever enough to keep this continuing from one generation to the next generation, they are human, therefore they would have failed at sometime by now. They have a master that we have all heard about but most likely don't believe to be a real entity. How else could one of them become intelligent beyond measure with the understanding of how to continue their corrupted scheme unless they have that time when they are given over to the possession of that creature. One thing about the creature that is good for us. When it becomes human though possession, it will bleed like the rest of us.

There are a people, who look at the global economy, and they see the rampant corruption and lack of moraility, and they cry out for justice. They look to government and find the very same corruption which enables the fraudulent economy. They peer deeper into the judicial system, and they see the very same corruption which enables the fraudulent government. They seek out their neighbors only find complacency, which enables the fraudulent justice.

These people are called "terrorists" because they themselves take action.

Unfortunately, there will be no such thing as "Time Magazine" to print the cover story, "We're all Terrorists Now" when that cover story becomes the present reality. Before that happens, the creators of the chaos will usher in their "resolution".

If you think that's a bunch of old Jews drinking sugared-up absinth, dancing naked around a pentagram and chanting mystical incantations from the scrolls of the Kinghts Templar, you had better put on your Sunday best for the coming rapture.

Otherwise, be prepared to defend your turf when the brown shirts come to confiscate the Kruggerands.

You'd better not drink, do not buy anything from multinationals. Consume only what is natural and nothing industrialized. Depositing money in banks, if possible to remove all the money and keep them at home or another safe place. Take up the squares, schools, and others to talk and discuss strategies to help each other in the solution of problems to come. Under no circumstances use violence or acts of this kind. Declaring bankruptcy and not pay taxes, small debts to bilk banks and credit card. In the media, always research and verify the issues, always seeking the truth. Do not vote, not to elect any leader of any kind, until the situation is discussed openly with the people. All this with peace and patience, austerity, security, without exaggeration

It is crazy to not force the banks into Bankruptcy. What has happened is the people who should take the haircut are getting their money back via government bailouts. The interest payments often much higher than most could get is set at a level which allows for the fact that the money is never paid back. The banks what the public to take the loss and let them keep the higher interest rates. It is amazing how the entire corrupt system of news and business have become. Iceland proved that it can be done correctly. The bankers hae already gotten their money back and if they get their way they will get it back a second time. I sure hope the public do not fall for this criminal activity. This is possible because the Federal reserve is actually an agent of the banks and most people have the mistaken opinion that the Federal reserve protects the interest of the United States. Nothing could be further from the truth than this fib by the banking intereests. Bankers are and always have been evil people. We need to get rid of the huge banks and get back to competition were the banks actually have to do something for their money.

Even with all of this information, if the people of this planet attempted to stop these demon crooks, they would be having to face the armies these crooks have waiting on the sidelines to do their every command. < That is to kill, steal and destroy as much as possible and then to blame it on the poor of this world that are standing up to fight back. A fight is going to happen, there is no getting around that. The only good thing about taking the fight to these demons doorsteps, is that just like us, they too will bleed. I hope it is in my life time. I am getting kind of old here.
